Channel Groups

Introduction

Manage Channel Groups.

Permissions and notification rules can be managed more effectively using groups of channels. Use Channel Groups to organize your channels, very useful when you have a large number of channels.

From here you can:

  • Click Add Channel Group to create a group
  • Click Edit to modify a group
  • Click Remove to delete a group
  • Click the drop-down arrow to show the channels in a group

So how exactly can I organize things with Channel Groups?

Tip: Use dashboard tooltips to see the groups for a channel:

Create or Modify a Channel Group [top]

Click Add Channel Group to create a group or Edit to modify a group.

To Create a new Channel Group:

  • Enter the Name and Description
  • Select the Channels to include in the group
    • The single arrow moves one or more selected channels
    • The double arrow moves all channels
  • Press Add Group

To Modify an existing Channel Group:

  • Modify Name, Description or Included Channels
  • Press the Save Changes
